Why is gasoline density referenced to 15.5°C in this conversion?

Gasoline density at 15.5°C is a standardized reference that compensates for temperature effects, allowing consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?

This conversion is intended for gasoline and fluids with similar density characteristics at 15.5°C. Different fluids require separate conversion considerations.

How do I ensure accurate conversions using this tool?

Make sure the volumetric flow in cubic inches per second is measured precisely and that the gasoline is referenced to the standard temperature of 15.5°C.
